About Yu
Hi, I'm Yumie! I'm a native Mandarin tutor based in London, with over two years of experience teaching children and adults.
I hold a Level 2-A certification in the Putonghua Proficiency Test and a Teacher Qualification Certificate in China.
I have taught children and adults from a wide range of ages, cultures and language levels. My younger students have ranged from ages 2 to 14, learning through stories, drawing, games and structured YCT materials. I also work with adult learners who want to improve their pronunciation, build confidence in conversation, or understand how Chinese is naturally used in everyday life.
My background is in design and cultural projects also shapes how I teach. I enjoy using visual explanations, creative activities and real-life examples to make Chinese easier to understand and remember.
I help children and adults experience Mandarin through real conversations, visual thinking, stories and contemporary Chinese culture—so the language becomes something they can see, feel and actually use.
I believe Mandarin should feel alive rather than limited to a textbook.
Most importantly, I want my students to feel comfortable, curious and confident using Mandarin — not just during our lessons, but in everyday life too!

My lessons are friendly, interactive and adapted to each student's age, level and interests. Whether you're looking for relaxed conversation practice or a more structured learning experience, I'm happy to help!
Mandarin for Young Children (Ages 2–5)
For little learners, Mandarin is introduced naturally through play, stories, songs, picture books and everyday interactions.
There's no pressure to sit still or follow formal lessons. Instead, I follow each child's interests and create opportunities for them to hear, understand and gradually use Mandarin in a relaxed environment.
Mandarin for Children (Ages 5–14)
For school-age children, I combine engaging activities with more structured language learning, depending on their level and goals.
Lessons can include:
- Speaking, listening and pronunciation
- Chinese character recognition and early reading
- Storytelling, drawing and interactive activities
- Chinese culture, festivals and traditional stories
- YCT and HSK preparation, where appropriate
I aim to make lessons enjoyable while helping children gradually build their confidence and independence in Mandarin.
Mandarin for Adults
I also work with adult learners, from complete beginners to more confident speakers.
We can focus on natural conversation, pronunciation, everyday expressions, reading, Chinese culture or specific learning goals.
I particularly enjoy helping students understand how Mandarin is actually spoken in everyday life, beyond textbook examples.

Cancellation & Rescheduling
Please give at least 24 hours' notice if you need to cancel or reschedule a lesson.

My goal is always the same: to make Mandarin enjoyable, meaningful and something you feel confident using!

Perfect! Kicked Off My Chinese Journey with a Fantastic First Class!
I really enjoyed my first Chinese lecture with Yumie. She explained everything clearly and made the session truly engaging with relevant, easy to follow examples. Her friendly and interactive teaching style made learning fun and approachable.
Can’t wait for the next session—an excellent start to this new adventure!Perfect! Yu is a fantastic tutor. She is very well organised and tailors the lesson plan according to the student’s needs. She is also patient and enthusiastic and flexible in terms of arranging on- and offline classes. Highly recommend!
- Ennio is such a friendly and curious learner – it's always a joy to talk with him! His Chinese is already at a really high level, and can handle most conversations with ease and confidence :) He has many experience travel and live in China, really natural and localYu's response :

I’ve been learning Chinese with Yumie, and one thing I’ve always appreciated is how much thought she puts into her lessons. She often buys books on different subjects to better suit her students’ interests and abilities, rather than just sticking to one textbook.
At the start of October, I travelled to China for work, so we spent some time focusing on the kind of Chinese I’d actually need while I was there. It made a huge difference. I was genuinely surprised by how much I could manage on my own, from getting around to handling everyday conversations. I definitely wouldn’t have felt nearly as confident without her help.
She’s very patient, easy to talk to, and good at explaining things when you’re struggling to understand something. I’ve really enjoyed learning with her, and I’d happily recommend her to anyone wanting to learn Chinese.Yu is an exceptional tutor for young students. Her engaging, patient approach makes learning fun and accessible. She tailors lessons, fostering confidence and curiosity. Highly recommend her for sparking a love of learning.
I’ve really enjoyed learning Chinese with her. She is a very thoughtful and professional tutor who tailors each session to my level and learning goals. Her explanations are clear, and she makes even difficult grammar points feel accessible. I’ve gained a lot of confidence in both speaking and listening. Highly recommend her to anyone serious about improving their Chinese!
